The name ‘Maame Dokono’ has been within the entertainment industry for close to four decades from the mid-70s till date. Easily the most recognisable industry personality of an era that saw the likes of David Dontoh, Grace Nortey, the late Joe Eyison (Station Master) and the Osofo Dadzie group hold sway in Akan Drama, Maame Dokono has graced the stage in many movies and television series, both English and Twi.

She obtained the stage name ‘Maame Dokono’ from her role as a kenkey seller alongside Joe Eyison as ‘Station Master’ in the popular ‘Obra’ television drama series, which was broadcast on GTV.
